The former X Factor winner is planning on donating the money she receives for them to friend, and former prison guard colleague, Leanne Blakey-Tew. Leanne has two children, Mia, four, and Cory, two, who suffer from a rare condition, known as RARS two mutation mitochondrial epilepsy PCH type six.

'Leanne and her husband have two disabled children and I want to get some money to help them out,' Sam told the Leicester Mercury. 'I'm not doing the whole 'Hello' thing with exclusive pictures, but I hope someone will be interested enough to buy the photographs so I can give the money to Leanne. She is totally committed to her kids and this is the least I can do to help.'

And Leanne is incredibly grateful for Sam's support. 'When Sam told me what she is going to do I nearly cried,' said Leanne. 'It shows how down-to-earth Sam is, even though she is now a big star. It is a lovely gesture.'
